Summary
Her breaths have just evened out enough that he thinks she’s asleep again when he hears her mumble thickly, “‘M sorry, Dad.”
Immediately, his eyes fly open, flooding with tears, and his heart lodges itself in his throat as he tries to— tries to process that this is the first time Ellie’s spoken to him in days, and she’s apologizing for… Well, he doesn’t even know what, and she’s calling him Dad, and—
— and he hasn’t been a dad in a long time, and it hurts, it hurts so damn bad, it feels like he’s cracking open from that one single word, it feels like it’s tearing through him and reminding him of how he failed the last little girl who called him that, and—
—and he loves Ellie with a fierceness that scares even himself, and hearing her call him Dad has mended something at the very same time that it’s broken something else.
He remembers back in Jackson, when he so cruelly said You’re not my daughter, and I sure as hell ain’t your dad.
Oh, how wrong he’d been— how foolish, to think he could ever give her up.
or,
5 times Ellie calls Joel Dad and they don't talk about it, and 1 time she doesn't call him Dad and they do talk about it.

Summary
“Where is Joel.” It’s not a question this time.
Marlene sighs, her shoulders sagging. “I’m sorry, Ellie. He left.”
Left?
Ellie blinks. “You’re lying.”
The sympathetic twist to Marlene’s mouth makes the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. “Ellie, I really am sorry. He asked for a car this morning and—”
“Shut the fuck up,” Ellie bites out. “You’re lying. That’s a lie.”
There isn’t any desperation in Ellie’s voice. No tremor or plea. Because she knows, beyond the shadow of any doubt, knows as certain as the sun rising, that Joel would never, ever fucking leave her.
Ellie isn’t sure what does it, if it’s the hardness in her tone or the look on her face, but something conveys to Marlene that her lie is dead in the water. The pity on the woman’s face shifts into something else, something cold, something that makes Ellie’s blood beat like thunder in her ears.
or
The Fireflies decide that Joel is worth sacrificing for the cure. Ellie disagrees.

Summary
The lab at the lake house was one of Peter’s favourites. It’s the lab Morgan knows and grew up around, and watching her innocent excitement never failed to bring a smile to his face. Not to mention that this was the lab in which Tony invented time travel so that he could save him. It is also, unfortunately, a lab Peter wasn’t as familiar with, compared to the ones at the tower or over at the compound. So he feels that it is in no way his fault, when Morgan ran ahead of him, found some weird machine partially covered by a tarp-cloth thing, and started poking around on it.
When the light’s gone, and his eyes can see again, he notices that they’re no longer in the lab, but on a large open lawn in front of an expensive-looking building. Or would it be considered a Mansion?
He is startled out of his observations when a throat clears behind him. When he turns around, making sure that Morgan is firmly behind him, his breath catches in his throat at what he sees. Because standing there in a sleeveless top, is Tony Fucking Stark, looking far younger than he remembers.

Summary
Tony sits in relative darkness, the TV on mute, Friday running searches like she has been every day for the past month. A month, since Quentin Beck’s grand plan crumpled underneath him on that bridge. A month, since a flash of light was able to distract Peter just as he was about to bring Beck down. A month, since Beck snatched him, since both of them disappeared. An entire. Month.
I’ll keep you updated. I promise.
I love you, kid. Rhodey’s on his way, alright? He’s coming. He’s gonna go as fast as he can.
I love you too. I’ll be okay. I promise. I can do this.
The last thing Tony heard Peter say.
Rhodey, Happy and Fury traversed the London landscape immediately afterwards. They found the glasses, but not Spider-Man. There was footage enough to incriminate Beck for what he was, but somehow, nobody was able to get a shot of when he grabbed Peter. Peter was knocking him around, looked like he was getting the upper hand, and then that flash of light.
Gone. Gone.

Summary
Tony Stark is on his way to becoming the coolest and awesomest supervillain New York City has ever known...until a pipsqueak in a onesie webs him to a rooftop in Queens. Next thing he knows, he’s accidentally acquired an intern with puppy-dog eyes and a heart of gold. Which, as it turns out, is not compatible with a five-year supervillain career plan.
Written for Winterturtle for the 2021 Friendly Neighborhood Exchange
